Hello there I am a newbie at console-modding and just recently softmodded my son's Wii with the intent of being able to use the USB loader and put backup of the games on it. Even though I can see the HBC I am fairly sure I am still missing something for the whole thing to work. If I try to install Wad Manager GUI it says missing ios 249. I still fail to understand exactly what ios's are for.
I have a couple questions and would greatly appreciate if you could help out. Ran a syscheck so I will be posting he results as well.

1) lot of discussion about the better format for the USB drive but I seem to understand that FAT32 is definitely better, is this correct?

2) Looking at my syscheck report, most of the ios are stub or no patches, I have the feeling I am still missing a lot here :) is this correct? what ios do i need basically to run usb loader and the games?

Please remand me to any guide if available I am an avid student but there are too many guides out there on this topic and each single one is different so please help me choosing a good one.

Your softmod is non-existent. Redo the softmod in the guide following each step carefully and do not do any updates from Nintendo or a disc (if you followed the guide you'll be able to turn this off).

The only thing you would have to do is check for updates to individual apps.

The closest I have gotten after trying all alternatives with bannerbomb is the Letterbomb. I see the screen of what looks like hackmii, but then the system quickly restarts itself back to the wii home menu. WTF is wrong with this wii? What am I missing?

What do you mean by format the Wii? That should never be done from what I heard. If it was a virgin you should update through Nintendo then follow the guide.

Please Use the EDIT Function.;)

BxLgnd point taken about the nonexistent softmod :) thanks a lot.

Can I just redo the softmodding as in overwrote the previous "nonexistent" one?

Thanks,

I am having trouble loading games through USB Loader GX from an external hard drive. The only games that load properly are Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. Some games lead directly to a blank screen, while others begin to load, but freeze at various stages. New Super Mario Bros. Wii, for instance, gets all the way to the screen that tells me to turn the remote sideways and press 2, but goes no further when I do. Please, let me know if there are any changes that need to be made and whether or not they might have any affect on the loading issue.

Follow the Soft Mod Any Wii Guide, Link is at the bottom of my signature.
Start from Soft Mod With Homebrew Channel Installed, and follow it all the way through.
Please read everything a few times , then proceed.

Hi there, I just modded my wii using the softmod any wii guide, however, using usb loader gx , I wasn't able to play any homebrew games that i loaded unto a WB passport hdd - it either disconnects my wii remote, or freezes on the first game screen.

here is my syscheck, Thanks in advance

sysCheck v2.1.0b17 by Double_A and R2-D2199...runs on IOS58 (rev 6176).

Everything looks good , except your ios58 needs to be updated.
Go to the Soft Mod Any Wii Guide and do this part only Soft Mods With Homebrew Channel Installed.
Just do that part only , your cios's do not need to be updated...they are up to date.;)

Your system check is fine.
Try clearing all Wii-motes by , pressing and holding down the sync button on the wii for 15 to 20 seconds.
Now all the Wii-motes should be cleared out from the system,...now Re-sync those Wii-motes and you should be good.

lol, you are already current with the d2x, most likely why you were getting the -1035, as for 236, idk, let someone else chime in on that one, but it is maxed out on the version number, so you won't be able to update it either...

11-21-2012, 08:14 AM

is that a problem? what should i do with this 236 max out version according to my syscheck above?
